In regard to tapering, it is true that :

  • A.Tapering usually consists of a period of reduced training volume and frequency but maintained intensity
  • B.Tapering can be applied to all types of training
  • C.Tapering allows for recovery from accumulated fatigue and may also promote further training adaptations
  • D.All of the above are true

Answer: D

The answer is All of the above are true.

A taper is the planned reduction of training before a major competition. Research recommends cutting training volume (and often frequency) while keeping intensity high, because dropping intensity loses fitness. Tapering is used across endurance, strength and power and team sports. Its purpose is to let the athlete recover from accumulated fatigue while the fitness gains of training are retained, and it may even allow further adaptations to show.

Since each of statements A, B and C is a correct description, option D is the answer.
